DescriptionA vulnerability was found in glibc. When the printf family of functions is called with a format specifier that uses an apostrophe (enable grouping) and a minimum width specifier, the resulting output could be larger than reasonably expected by a caller that computed a tight bound on the buffer size. The resulting larger-than-expected output could result in a buffer overflow in the printf family of functions.A vulnerability was found in glibc.

Unless explicitly stated as not affected, all previous versions of packages in any minor update stream of a product listed here should be assumed vulnerable, although may not have been subject to full analysis.
